Recovery run today. I started out by running 1.25 as a warm up with Connor. I skipped the team warm ups in order to make sure my legs were completely warmed up because they were hurting pretty bad. Once out on our run my legs had a constant soreness and I didn't know if I was going to be able to finish the full miles. I was running the back with Sean and we ran up a hill which really spread the group out. We met up at the top where Sean told me that he was just running back because he was in so much pain. By this time the rest of the group had already left and I was alone. I started the process to catch up and ended up running a 6:20 mile shorten the gap. It took like a mile and a half to catch up but it felt great. Going that fast really loosened up my legs which helped me to get through the rest of the run. We got back and I ran a little more than a 200 with Connor while he was getting the rest of his miles. Today was a workout that I definitely needed, especially after my crappy day yesterday. I iced a lot when I got home in order to prepare for our 6 miles of tempo tomorrow. Average pace for the day was a 6:50/mile.
